A hybrid work arrangement that’s half at home and half at the office is awesome! The downside is that 30 miles driving will take about 30 minutes on the highway and up to an hour if you’re on city streets.
However, many factors play into this, including:
How many traffic signals are on the route
Congestion, construction zones, and accidents
To give you a better estimate of how long 30 miles is driving, here are some speeds and the time spent on your commute:
30 miles at 30 mph: 1 hour
30 miles at 35 mph: 51 minutes, 26 seconds
30 miles at 40 mph: 45 minutes
30 miles at 45 mph: 40 minutes
30 miles at 50 mph: 36 minutes
30 miles at 55 mph: 32 minutes, 44 seconds
30 miles at 60 mph: 30 minutes
